Metagenomics

Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples. The broad field may also be referred to as environmental genomics, ecogenomics or community genomics.

Genomicsnoun

Genomicsnoun

the branch of genetics that studies organisms in terms of their genomes (their full DNA sequences)
